MHS VISITS OHS

The Midland High soccer teams close out the District 3-6A and regular season today when they head to Odessa’s Ratliff Stadium to face Odessa High in a doubleheader, beginning with the girls’ game at noon.

The district champion Bulldogs (15-4-2, 8-0-1-0, 25 points) continue to position themselves for what it hoped to be a long playoff run. OHS (9-7-1, 2-2-1-4, 11 points) won’t make it easy as the Bronchos are battling for a playoff spot.

Midland High’s girls still have a chance for at least a share of the district title as the Lady Bulldogs (15-4-1, 5-3-0-1, 21 points) need a win against OHS (14-9, 4-1-0-4, 14 points) and no more than a penalty kick win from San Angelo Central against Odessa Permian.

Central leads MHS by a point in the standings and would have the tiebreaker for the top seed in the playoffs thanks to its regulation win over MHS late in the district season.

LEE HOSTS ABILENE

The Lee soccer teams close out the season by hosting Abilene High at Grande Communications Stadium, beginning with the girls’ game at noon today.

The Lady Rebels (6-11, 0-0-1-8, 1 point) and AHS (7-13-2, 1-0-2-6, 5 points) are both out of playoff contention, so this game is for pride and hopes of gaining positives for next season.

In the boys’ game, Abilene High (11-6-2, 4-1-0-2, 14 points) is looking to secure the No. 2 seed in the playoffs, while Lee (6-11-1, 1-1-2-5, 7 points) is looking to close the season on a good note.
